Christian Horner has written in his new memoir about how allegations of inappropriate behaviour in February 2024 affected his marriage to Geri Halliwell.
Christian Horner, the F1 team boss, has written in his new memoir 'Drive: A Memoir' about how a scandal involving allegations of inappropriate behaviour tested his marriage to Geri Halliwell, the former Spice Girl he began dating in 2014. In February 2024, a female Red Bull employee made allegations of inappropriate behaviour against Horner, which he denied. An independent investigation commissioned by the team cleared him, and the findings were upheld when the case was appealed.
The situation became more serious when an anonymous email containing alleged WhatsApp messages and photos circulated among the Formula One community and media. These supposed exchanges between Horner and a female colleague put his marriage under public scrutiny. In his memoir, Horner describes his shock when learning of the allegations and his initial disbelief, writing that he wanted to ask his lawyer more questions but did not know where to begin.
Horner recounts breaking the news to Geri at home after the family had left for school. He writes that she immediately sensed something was wrong from his expression and brought calm to the situation. The memoir offers an account of how Halliwell supported him through the controversy.
